Noise, that's all I heard when I woke up. The noise was deafening and it surrounded my entire being. I tried to open my eyes, but it felt like they were glued shut. "Where am I?" I asked, my voice sounding like I was speaking into a jar. The noise continued, but suddenly, a bright light shined in my face. The noise lessened and I began to hear voices, as though people were speaking from far away. "Put some on his legs and get an I.V. in him." I couldn't tell who or what it was that was speaking, but the voice seemed urgent. I felt a sharp prick in my left arm and felt someone pressing objects on my chest and legs. I tried again to open my eyes, and they did, gradually, and as they opened, bright light splashed across them like an ocean wave. I reached towards my face with my arm to shield my eyes and it stopped, being held by something. I tugged a little harder and I felt a hand on my arm. 
"Don't yank your arm, you'll pull the cords out." I turned to the voice and saw a man dressed in royal blue scrubs. I look around my environment and notice that I'm in an ambulance. Scootaloo is sitting to my left, her face in her hands. I look back to the man in scrubs, and in a flash, the man turned into the man in white. He looked directly at me, and then makes a slicing motion across his neck with his finger. I blink and he was gone, replaced by the man in scrubs. I was terrified, but to tired to show it, or do anything about it. I turned to my left and that's when Scootaloo yells. "Holy shit! You're awake!" I look at her and see tears dripping down her face. I try to speak again, but it comes out like a mumble. "Mmf!" She strokes and kisses my forehead. 
"I got your text and went looking for you. When I found you, you were having like a seizure, so I panicked." Scootaloo spoke. The paramedic then turned and faced me. 
"I'm gonna ask you some questions, shake your head once for yes, twice for no. Ok?" I shook my head. "Good, do you faint frequently?" I shook my head. "Ok, do you have narcolepsy?" I shook my head twice. "Ok, is this your first seizure?" I shook my head once. "Ok, we're almost at the hospital so don't worry." The paramedic said, jotting down some notes on a clipboard. I leaned back further on the gurney, just enjoying the ride. It was quiet, but the voices like quiet.
"Pull the I.V. out of your arm Jake." I heard the voice to my left, so I looked and that's when I saw the man in white, his red sunglasses gleaming in the light. In his hand was a pair of scissors. His mouth moved and the words seemed to come from inside my head. "Cut it, cut the cord Jake." I reached forward, and then the ambulance jolted to a halt. The man in white turned into a puff of smoke and moved in my direction. I gasped and inhaled it. I began to cough and my eyes watered. They pulled the gurney out of the ambulance and rushed me inside. I heard Scootaloo behind me telling me she'd meet me in the room. I saw tons of patients in their rooms and tons of nurses wandering the halls. I heard various things like people crying or yelling. 

Everything else was pretty basic. The doctor re-informed me that I was a Paranoid Schizophrenic with visual and auditory hallucinations. He also informed me that the sudden absence of my meds is what triggered my panic attack and seizure. I did not mention the episode with my mother and when they asked me for my information I filed everything under my mother's name. I, however, did not provide them with her number. The doctor left me with a prescription on the counter for me to get some new meds. When the doctor and nurses finally left me alone, I told her everything that happened with me and my mother. I cried and she held me. I leaned in and kissed her, with no distractions to interrupt us. I felt something against my push against my lips and realized it was Scoot's tongue. I opened my mouth, allowing her to explore. I took my hand and pushed her hair behind her ears. I took my other hand and felt down her back. She moaned and we both pushed away from each other. I guess I'm a better kisser than I thought.
"Woah, uh, haha, Let's get out of here. The doctor has all my mother's information so they can bill her, and there's no way in Hell that she's gonna pick me up. What about your folks? Do they know where you are?" I asked.
"My mum and dad think I'm still with the Cutie-Mark-Crusaders." She says. "I left telling them I was gonna go find you, but it's 11:40 now so I doubt that their still up. We do still have school tomorrow, unless you forgot!" She says jokingly. 
"Let's just go to your clubhouse and sleep their, hows that?" I asked
"Sure, but let's leave quickly." She turns and grabs my arm and we rush out the room. We turn a right at the end of the hall and find an elevator. I reach down and grab Scootaloo's hand and she looks at me and smiles. 
"Thanks for getting me Scoot." I said, my face getting red.
"Of course, I mean, I love you Jake." The elevator door opens and we step inside, pressing the first floor button. The door closes and the elevator lowers. When it reaches the bottom floor and the door opens, we rush out and sprint through the exit. The parking lot is filled with cars, yet we ignore them all as we make our way across it to the road. We cross streets and lawns and make our way to Applejack's farm. We find the clubhouse and walk inside. There are pictures of almost everyone in town and a lot of pictures of our coach Dash. There are 3 bean bags and a table and near the table there are some purple capes with a little pony on each of them and the letters C, M, C in bold. "Woah, this is a neat place." I say, bewildered. 
"Yeah, don't tell Sweetie Belle or Apple Bloom I let you in here, Ok? Were just here for the night." She jumps onto a beanbag and gets comfy. I get onto the beanbag with her and we stare at each other. She leans in and kisses me and all I want is to make her happy. And we kiss and cuddle and then the voices come into play. "She's a traitor. She's with them." I push her away. "You're with them aren't you?!" I yell, demanding an answer. "Jake it's the voices, you need to ignore them." Scoots tries to speak but I don't listen. "Run Jake, run away." And I do.

I turn out the door and run down the ramp. I hear Scootaloo's shouts behind me but I don't listen. I know she's evil, she's always been. The voices speak truth. I run until I come unto a restaurant and then I hear a familiar voice.
"Look Snips, it's the freak. Go grab Snails." 
I shake my head in disbelief. Then, the voices take control of my mouth, speaking for me. 
"HEY FEATHERWEIGHT, CUT THE SHIT. I'M GONNA BEAT YOUR BITCH ASS!" I reach down and grab a rock. I chuck it and it hits snips in the shoulder.
"You're dead!!" He says and rushes towards me.
"BRING IT ON DUMBASS!" Snails sees Snips running and does the same. Snips throws himself at me and I dodge but then Snails jumps too and begins brutally punching me. Featherweight takes out his phone and begins taking pictures. My mouth begins bleeding and I spit blood. They get up and walk away and I get up and run towards Featherweight and tackle him. The voices begin speaking in my head, yelling, telling me to do horrible things. I kick and punch and spit on him and then I run away, not looking back. I run to a pharmacy and hand the pharmacist the paper and he goes behind the counter looking for some meds. I shake my head, and when the pharmacist comes back with my medicine, I leave the store and walk home, awaiting the next day.
